We suffered Watkins, Buendia. We conceded a goal, the only bad thing on the pitch. We could\u2019ve scored more goals especially in the first half but I am pleased for this performance from my players. I know how much they\u2019ve suffered this season and for that I am very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What did you like about the side\u2019s mentality? \u201cPressure is like courage, it\u2019s like mentality and then in ball possession because we played very well, with calm when we had to attack space or go to shoot. When we had to keep the ball, we did. I love playing football especially if you have these players on the squad. My job is to put them in the right condition to play, to show what they are capable of doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How good was Conor Gallagher? \u201cGallagher when he plays well, we have 12 players because he is amazing. Today also Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel played a fantastic game. Joao Palhinha, Bentancur were incredible. The two central backs with and without the ball. Really pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What does it mean to be out of the bottom three? \u201cNothing because it\u2019s not finished yet. The season, we have to play another three games \u2014 very tough games starting Monday night with Leeds who are playing very well. We can\u2019t forget the situation before, when momentum was a very sad situation. These memories have to stay with us every day, especially this week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto De Zerbi believed his team could get out of the relegation zone, but did&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-621787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
